Time has passed since I was a young black girl when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor 83 years ago. I was five years old when my mom and I were running in the streets of New Orleans screaming that we were at war.
My grandmother was a seamstress and had to join the talented seamstresses to work for the US government to make clothes for soldiers who were at war.
We had to get tickets to be able to purchase sugar, coffee, eggs, bread, and other foods because factories were required to make war weapons for fighting while people had to eat less food because it was not available.
We used to sit in dark rooms in our homes because there were blackouts to protect us from foreign enemies because New Orleans was on the Gulf of Mexico where ships entered into our ports from other countries.
War is no joke and everything possible should be done to prevent another World War.
I am 88 and life is precious. People need to learn nutrition as a part of their education in order to prevent serious health problems that’s caused by their unhealthy diet.
Farmers need training on how to use pesticides and better methods of feeding plants and animals that are raised for our food.
Children need training on how to grow plants and animals for healthy foods along with nutrition education.
